Peggy & Helen,
Our canvas arrived today. It is just beautiful!! It couldn't be more perfect. We hung it on the wall within minutes of its arrival.
Connie received her album on Friday. She was so excited that she could hardly wait to get in touch with me. Thanks for all you did. You achieved perfection. I will show off the canvas to all my friends and pass your name along to everyone. Linda N.

Tastebuds Custom Catering -- WOW!!

I've had the opportunity to work with Chef Greg Shapiro with Tastebuds Custom Catering on numerous occasions so I hung out in the kitchen to watch the team in action on Saturday night. It was a black tie event with all the society people in Naples attending. Hope for Haiti is an incredibly helpful and wonderful charity founded by Naples resident JoAnne Kuehner.

Janine with the Tastebuds team goes over every detail with the wait staff. She runs through the entire night and how it will flow. The service is fabulous!

Prep, prep, prep!

The team working on an hor d' oeuvres station OUTSIDE! The kitchen was so small but that didn't slow this team down! I also had the opportunity to work with Chef Shapiro when we had that big gas shortage. Tastebuds has a wood burning stove!

Creative and delicious hor d'oeuvres were passed by the wait staff.

Can you believe how cute the cans for the salad dressing are?

Chef Shapiro makes sure everything is "just so".

The Flower Pot Salad is like a work of art on the table!

These veggies look SOOOO good!

And even better on beef tenderloin.

Speed, speed, speed! Over two hundred dinners, looking and tasting fabulous went out in a matter of minutes!

And oh what a great feeling that was!!

Preparation for dessert began right away.
